An electrolyzer is a vessel (or system of vessels) filled with an electrolyte, in which electrodesâa cathode and anodeâhave been placed; the cathode is connected to the negative pole of the direct-current source and the anode is connected to the positive pole.
Electrolytes are substances which, when dissolved in water, break up into cations (plus-charged ions) and anions (minus-charged ions). We say they ionize. Strong electrolytes ionize completely (100%), while weak electrolytes ionize only partially (usually on the order of 1â10%). That is, the principal species in solution for strong electrolytes are ions, while the principal specie in solution for weak electrolytes is the un-ionized compound itself. Strong electrolytes fall into three categories: strong acids, strong bases, and salts. (Salts are sometimes also called ionic compounds, but really strong bases are ionic compounds as well.) The weak electrolytes include weak acids and weak bases.
